The Experiences of Temple Advertising Students
With my last day at Philadelphia Magazine officially over, I am realizing how much I really learned from this experience. I am a junior in both research and account management tracks and this was my first internship. I feel that I learned so much just being in the office and…
My name is Juna Kika. I’m a junior at Temple University studying Advertising! I am currently the Marketing Intern over at Focus Pointe Global in Center City.

It’s a scary thought for a lot of seniors when the end of the school year finally approaches. All the credits are completed, the works handed in, the exams are graded, the internship comes to an end and now it’s time to enter the real world. A lot of graduating…
As the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end. It’s time for me to leave the party…Philly’s “party station” that is. Over the last three months, I have interned at Wired 96.5 for Casey Reed, producer of the mid-day show. This has been the most rewarding…

For this past semester I have been interning at a large, privately owned, international paper distribution company called LindenMeyr. Recently I have been assisting the regional manager by helping put together interactive…
Here I am… 3 1/2 months later and it’s the last day of my internship. Looking back on the semester, I have come to appreciate the experience as a whole and the valuable learning opportunity it has provided me with. I’m glad I made the decision to fulfill my…
This semester I have gained a ton of real life experience in the advertising industry, as well as the feeling of a 9-5 day. I have learned the importance of organization and communication in a business as well as what it takes to be successful in the industry. Working as…
I don’t know if it’s quite been finalized, but it looks like I’m going to be staying on at 12+ for the summer. I’m very excited. This is the first job I’ve ever had where I always looked forward to going to work, no exceptions. Every day, I leave knowing…
